Elizabeth-Lauren Stevenson

Lizzy graduated magna cum laude from William Jewell College in Liberty, MO, and majored in Molecular Biology in the Oxbridge Honors Program. She ran both cross country and track and field for Jewell. After a gap year working at the Stowers Institute in Kansas City, she joined the Molecular and Systems Biology Ph.D. program at Dartmouth, where she's currently a grad student in the Dunlap-Loros lab. The lab studies the molecular mechanism behind circadian rhythms. Lizzy utilizes both human tissue culture cells as well as the filamentous fungus N. crassa. In both systems, she investigates the role of phosphorylation in regulating different aspects of the molecular clock. Outside of lab, she loves to explore the beautiful Upper Valley by hiking, running, and skiing.
